    People who didn't skate in the early 2000's will never understand how much the general public hated skateboarders and the push back/harassment skateboarders had to deal with. Back then young skaters would constant get bullied by grown men or ganged up on. Imagine seeing footage of your bullies get beat up (when nothing was on footage), it was amazing!

      We were criminals in the public's eye back in the 90s-00s. I came up in Boston and the police used to swarm Copley Fountain on foot, in cars, on bikes, and even on horse in a mad scramble to yoke up as many skaters as possible. They would snap your board and arrest you if caught.
      Skating was a very unique time back then, especially on the east coast with almost no skateparks. It was 98% street.

    I still have all of the hawk tour dvds and that was when I was in high school completely consumed by skating and though there were a lot of huge skate videos at that time (sorry, yeah right, the end, one step beyond, menikmati…) those your dvds were always my favorite and were super motivating

    Saw Mike V shred Edison NJ during one of his demos. Freaking beast and that energy just makes you wanna climb onto the ramps and shred right next to him.
    Deff props deciding to do that tour with the foot injury in its shape. After 2 ankle surgeries myself and realizing Im never making money out of skating, I'm hesitant to do big gaps and drops, and the gnawing pain just haunts. I'll still throw it down at parks though can I appreciate the transitions being a little softer than raw street skating. Some of the wildest and best times.
    Love seeing these pod casts with all the legends. Now, to rewatch that fight scene.

    Saw Mike V at Skatepark of Tampa contest when I was 14. He wasn’t the most technical guy but he was the most gnarly. I still remember him battling to get this huge wall ride (which he got after getting all bloodied and banged up.) Also he signed my SPoT towel and drew a lighting bolt on it

    Hi this is the greatest interview I have ever seen in regards to what we go through as skateboarders and how we see the world and our passion. It was mentioned we are a different breed and no one understands the passion and effort we put in to do what we love. Injuries are a way of life not a hinderance. Mike V I don't believe I ever met you but I have met and skated with Tony and a few others you know. You have always been an inspiration to a large number of people I know so thank you

    A large chunk of my childhood was spent skating around and looking for spots, to keep us out of trouble. I vividly remember our skate crew watching Mike V beat the ever -living, fuck out of those dudes and we watched it weekly. You used to get us fired up, to stand up for ourselves when security, or randos, felt that they could grab/push you off your board while you rolling up to the spot. We were small but we would dream about going “ Mike V” on someone, if we ever needed to. 😂 You put some fire in our hearts, brother! 🤙

I'm not a skater but my brother is 42 so y'all are about the same age and he started skating at 6 years old. And like I said I was there when Mike V beat those dudes asses. They were frat dudes that were driving around the Seattle skate park calling them "skater F@gs".
